The Altman Z-score Explanation: The Altman Z-score --- Definition of 'Altman Z-Score' The output of a credit-strength test that gauges a publicly traded manufacturing company's likelihood of bankruptcy. The Altman Z-score, is based on five financial ratios that can be calculated from data found on a company's annual 10K report. The Altman Z-score is calculated as follows: Z-Score = 1.2A + 1.4B + 3.3C + 0.6D + 1.0E Where: A = Working Capital/Total Assets B = Retained Earnings/Total Assets C = Earnings Before Interest & Tax/Total Assets D = Market Value of Equity/Total Liabilities E = Sales/Total Assets A score below 1.8 means the company is probably headed for bankruptcy, while companies with scores above 3.0 are not likely to go bankrupt. The lower/higher the score, the lower/higher the likelihood of bankruptcy. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/altman.asp -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 mins (2014-08-27 19:46:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.investinganswers.com/financial-dictionary/financi... http://mfiles.pl/pl/index.php/Wskaźnik_Altmana |
